Ibuprofen use
by westernguy, Sep 21, 2007 10:36AM
Can using an excessive amount of ibuprofen over 30 days cause liver problems like hepatitis? I took Ibuprofen for a month (6-8 tabs a day). A few weeks after taking them I had fatigue, nausea, joint pain. It went away in about three weeks. I was also taking Levequin at the same time. Could this have been from the medication?

Taking a large amount of medications that are filtered through the liver can indeed cause inflammation of the liver, so in essence they can cause a non viral form of hepatitis. If you are fearful that you have contracted Hepatitis C, you cannot contract from medication. Hepatitis C is a blood-to-blood disease.

at 2000 mg per day. you might have been borderline overdosed and caused
liver irritation and inflamation (inflammation). i think ibuprofen is similar in effect. dont bet the farm on this info, but there is some consensus on this issue.
